I seem to be souring on granlund every game it seems. Just not getting it done for me. Had a solid first handful of games, but since then I just haven't liked his game as much. He's coming close to being one of those guys that's to good for the ahl, but not good enough to stick.

Granlund has nothing left to learn in the AHL. He's also waiver eligible next year, so an extended look for him in the NHL is extremely important. Just because he's struggling right now doesn't matter much if you're going to lose the player next season on waivers. He needs to learn his lessons in the NHL so he might be able to slot in a bottom six role next year effectively.
As for Grant, if the Flames decide to pull the trigger and deal 5 or 6 players at the deadline, I'd be all for him getting a shot.
